verb form tester

Hi,

We have learned to identify -ed (past tense) form verbs by using a verb in the sentence "Yesterday I ______" and -en (past participle) by using "I have _____"

However, I have come up with a problem identifying the reason as to why the past participle of have is has, when if used in the sentence "I have ____" sounds better as "I have had" rather than "I have has"

Could someone explain this to me please and also suggest if there is a better way to identify past tense and past participles.

Hi stressin,

you only use the past participle in the present perfect, past perfect:
